If there ever were a time when you’re encouraged to wear all the glitter, sparkle, sequins, etc in your wardrobe – it’s without a doubt New Years. I am still looking for that perfect shimmery sequin dress or top, so here I did my best with what I have and I think it turned out not too bad…what do you think?
What do YOU like to wear to ring in the new year? Are you a fan of glimmery things too? oh and just in case I don’t get to say it later, HAPPY NEW YEAR y’all! Whoa, it’a almost 2014 already?!?!?

I must not be the only fashion blogger out there who has REALLY BAD photo days….right?

Yesterday was one of them. My sweet hubby takes the majority of my blog pix and because we were both worn out from a long Monday, the outfit photos turned out pretty bad. Whether they’re blurry, bad lighting, silly faces, weird reflection, face looks tired, lumpy, bad angles, or all around “MEH” feeling, yesterday’s pics had all of them! You know, things that Photoshop can’t fix! I did some very slight color adjustment in photoshop because I thought they’d be easier to view if they weren’t so dark.

I’m going to share my sub-par photos because….really….WHO CARES?! I write this blog for fun and friendship and not for advertising or to please anyone so really I’m my own worst judge. 🙂 🙂

It’s getting HOT HOT HOT! Not favorite season but summer’s here and I’ll have to just live through 4 months of stifling humid heat. AND I have a mildly bad case of poison ivy to contend with. On a slightly uplifting note…

Recently my lovely boss gave me this wonderful dress because it had become too loose on her. I’ve said it once and i’ll say it again…I LOVE HAND-ME-DOWNS!

I love the Milly line and even though I can’t afford it, I’ve lusted after several drool-worthy pieces. So of course I got excited when I heard Banana Republic was collaborating with Milly for a line of women’s and men’s clothes + accessories.

Here are some of my favorites. They are CUTE but they don’t blow me away, but the prices are at least slightly better than the Milly line.
